Sugar Coated is the brainchild of Rosie Khandwala. Her story goes back
to the shores of the Indian Ocean on the north-east coast of Tanzania.
Growing up in Tanzania sugar waxing was the only form hair removal she
used. She learnt how to sugar wax from her mother and older sisters as

well as working in her cousin’s salon.

When she moved to the UK in 1987 she was amazed that sugar waxing
didn’t exist, so she started making her own. Seeing this glaring hole in the
market she and her husband started manufacturing at home to introduce
sugar waxing to the UK market. She soon outgrew the kitchen and they
found premises nearby where she is still manufacturing the sugar wax

today.

Sugar Coated is the vegan sugar wax that has the heritage and recipe
with a track record. This is the “face” of ethical hair removal. Made in the
UK with eco-friendly and ethical manufacturing at the heartbeat; Sugar
Coated is a product we want you to be proud to buy and share your
experience with friends just as its creator Rosie is sharing hers with you.

Should You Go To Brazil? A Pondering On The Brazilian Wax.

Posted on by

Pubic_hair_style_Full_WaxThere is a scene in Sex & The City where Carrie and her friends go to Los Angeles, Carrie goes to a new beautician for a wax who ‘takes everything’. Later, when the girls are discussing their shock about being ‘totally bald down there’, Samantha tells Charlotte that her husband Trey, who has been having some problems in the bedroom, might finally be able to consummate their marriage as ‘he probably hasn’t been to Brazil before’. After this episode, the Brazilian wax became hugely popular. But what is it, where did it come from and should women really be getting them? Let’s find out.

 

With a Brazilian wax all of the pubic hair is removed, front and back, by waxing. Ouch. Some people like to leave a thin strip of pubic hair, referred to as a ‘landing strip’.

 

The Brazilian wax, apparently, was first named by the J. Sisters salon in Manhattan in 1987.

 

According to Wikipedia, some people claim that the concept of the Brazilian came from a letter documenting in 1500 AD, which read: “…suas vergonhas tão altas e tão çarradinhas e tão limpas das cabeleiras que de as nós muito bem olharmos não tínhamos nenhuma vergonha” (English translation: “their private parts were so exposed, so healthy and so hairless, that looking upon them we felt no shame”).

 

Brazilian waxing is the most controversial form of waxing, Brazilian waxing is unpopular amongst some women (and men), especially feminists who claim the only people who like it are men who want their women to look underage. Which may be why it is hugely popular with porn stars.

 

Model and Socialite Lisa B said that when she got a Brazilian at a salon in LA that “It was so painful I collapsed. I only fainted, but I was nearly carted off to hospital and I have vowed never to try it again.”

 

Other negatives are that it is a painful experience and if it is not done properly it can cause infection, prolonged bleeding or swelling of the area. It helps to take ibuprofen an hour before you have your Brazilian wax (this is what Madonna does).

 

The positives are that many women say it improves their sex life. If you get it done frequently then the hair will become weaker and the regrowth will become less as time goes on.

 

A Brazilian wax usually last between three to six weeks, but this depends on your hair regrowth rate. Some irritation may occur too, try some aloe vera on the irritated area. If you have ingrown hair (which will look like little bumps. They happen when the hair is not pulled out correctly. The hair curls back in on itself or grows sideways into the skin) you can buy beauty products that specialise in the improvement of ingrown hair. If you are confident you can even tackle the problem with some tweezers, just be careful.

 

The new rise in Brazilian waxing may be because of The Only Way Is Essex and the popularity of vajazzling, which was pioneered by Amy Childs.

 

Interestingly, New Jersey has banned the Brazilian wax for health reasons. This happened after two women in New Jersey were hospitalised after having the procedure.

 

If you want to have a Brazilian do so. Just make sure you go to a salon which is hygienic and knows what they are doing, take a painkiller before and make sure you are not prone to infection.

Frost Product Reviews: Axe Touch + Hold Hair Products

Posted on by

Male hair products are usually uncomfortable to touch, hardening or becoming sticky when applied. I have not been impressed, however, I got the man in my life to try and test out an alternative: AXE Hair products. So, here are the results….

AXE Hold + Touch Cream Wax for thick hair: Feels good and smells delicious. It gives a good hold and doesn’t look too ‘wet’ as some products do. James said that the product looked very good, packaging was excellent and it was a very high quality product.

James said the same of all of the packaging. It looks really good. The packaging is slick and well designed. All of the products smell nice and leave the hair with a good texture and hold. They also have products for all different types of hair.

The AXE Hold + Touch spiking glue for normal hair is good for spiky hair, it holds very well and is not icky to touch. The AXE Hold + Touch paste for fine hair does not weigh the hair down too much. The products are specially designed for guys’ specific hair types.

The men I got to test the AXE Hold + Touch all loved the product. It does what it is supposed to without being sticky and it smells really, really good, I kept sniffing my boyfriends hair. Frost loves it. The best men’s hair products, according to my testers, and me.
